Takes

Lyrics

[verse]

Another map unfolded on another kitchen chair

Another town that promises a job that leads somewhere

I count the miles in silence, I count them on my hand

It's getting hard to hold on to a shifting piece of land

[chorus]

You're so far away now, further than a phone call goes

Further than a letter that the wind still barely blows

Does anybody stay somewhere long enough to build a home

Or are we all just passing through, forever bound to roam

[verse]

I keep your picture folded in the pages of a book

I take it out at midnight just to have a steady look

The distance doesn't shrink no matter how I wish it would

I'm learning love can travel, but it travels rough and slow

[chorus]

You're so far away now, further than a phone call goes

Further than a letter that the wind still barely blows

Does anybody stay somewhere long enough to build a home

Or are we all just passing through, forever bound to roam

[bridge]

Maybe distance is just something we're supposed to learn

Maybe every mile apart is a mile we'll someday earn

I'll keep the porch light burning till the road brings you around

Until this far away becomes a closer kind of sound

[chorus]

You're so far away now, further than a phone call goes

Further than a letter that the wind still barely blows

Does anybody stay somewhere long enough to build a home

Or are we all just passing through, forever bound to roam

## Lyrics
[verse]
Another map unfolded on another kitchen chair
Another town that promises a job that leads somewhere
I count the miles in silence, I count them on my hand
It's getting hard to hold on to a shifting piece of land

[chorus]
You're so far away now, further than a phone call goes
Further than a letter that the wind still barely blows
Does anybody stay somewhere long enough to build a home
Or are we all just passing through, forever bound to roam

[verse]
I keep your picture folded in the pages of a book
I take it out at midnight just to have a steady look
The distance doesn't shrink no matter how I wish it would
I'm learning love can travel, but it travels rough and slow

[chorus]
You're so far away now, further than a phone call goes
Further than a letter that the wind still barely blows
Does anybody stay somewhere long enough to build a home
Or are we all just passing through, forever bound to roam

[bridge]
Maybe distance is just something we're supposed to learn
Maybe every mile apart is a mile we'll someday earn
I'll keep the porch light burning till the road brings you around
Until this far away becomes a closer kind of sound

[chorus]
You're so far away now, further than a phone call goes
Further than a letter that the wind still barely blows
Does anybody stay somewhere long enough to build a home
Or are we all just passing through, forever bound to roam
